Travel Tips
Useful tips for visiting Tasmania
Do not drive at night. Wildlife like wallabies and wombats are common on roads at dusk and dawn.
Book accommodation in advance. Limited availability and most places fully booked year-round.
Pack for all seasons. Weather can change rapidly, even in summer. Layers are essential.
Visit Salamanca Market on Saturday morning. Australia's largest outdoor market since 1972.
